    Analyst Opinion

    The Music Events market in Western Asia has experienced significant growth in recent years, driven by changing customer preferences and a number of local special circumstances.

    Customer preferences:
    One of the key factors driving the growth of the Music Events market in Western Asia is the increasing demand for live entertainment experiences. Customers in this region are increasingly seeking out unique and immersive experiences, and music events provide an opportunity for them to connect with their favorite artists and enjoy live performances. Additionally, the rise of social media and digital platforms has made it easier for customers to discover and share information about music events, further fueling demand.

    Trends in the market:
    One notable trend in the Music Events market in Western Asia is the increasing popularity of international music festivals and concerts. Western Asia has become a popular destination for international artists and music festivals, attracting a large number of tourists from around the world. This trend has been fueled by the growing reputation of Western Asia as a vibrant cultural hub, as well as the increasing disposable income of consumers in the region. Another trend in the market is the emergence of local music festivals and events. Western Asia has a rich and diverse music scene, with a wide range of genres and styles. Local artists and musicians are gaining recognition both domestically and internationally, leading to the growth of local music events. These events not only showcase local talent, but also provide a platform for cultural exchange and celebration.

    Local special circumstances:
    One of the key special circumstances in the Music Events market in Western Asia is the region's rich cultural heritage. Western Asia is home to a diverse range of cultures and traditions, and music plays a central role in many of these cultures. This cultural richness has contributed to the growth of music events, as artists and musicians from Western Asia and beyond are drawn to the region to explore and showcase their talents. Another special circumstance is the increasing investment in infrastructure and venues for music events. Governments and private investors in Western Asia are recognizing the economic and cultural benefits of hosting music events, and are therefore investing in state-of-the-art venues and facilities. This has not only attracted international artists and festivals, but has also provided local musicians with more opportunities to perform and connect with audiences.

    Underlying macroeconomic factors:
    The growth of the Music Events market in Western Asia is also influenced by underlying macroeconomic factors. The region has experienced strong economic growth in recent years, leading to an increase in disposable income and consumer spending. This has enabled more people to attend music events and support the industry. Furthermore, Western Asia has a young and growing population, which is driving demand for music events. Younger consumers are more likely to attend music events and are willing to spend a larger portion of their income on entertainment experiences. This demographic trend is expected to continue in the coming years, further fueling the growth of the Music Events market in Western Asia.

    Methodology

    Data coverage:

    The data encompasses B2C enterprises. Figures are based on Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) and represent what consumers pay for these products and services. The user metrics show the number of customers who have made at least one online purchase within the past 12 months.

    Modeling approach / Market size:

    Market sizes are determined through a bottom-up approach, building on predefined factors for each market segment. As a basis for evaluating markets, we use annual financial reports of the market-leading companies, third-party studies and reports, as well as survey results from our primary research (e.g., the Statista Global Consumer Survey). In addition, we use relevant key market indicators and data from country-specific associations, such as GDP, GDP per capita, and internet connection speed. This data helps us estimate the market size for each country individually.

    Forecasts:

    In our forecasts, we apply diverse forecasting techniques. The selection of forecasting techniques is based on the behavior of the relevant market. For example, the S-curve function and exponential trend smoothing. The main drivers are internet users, urban population, usage of key players, and attitudes toward online services.

    Additional notes:

    The market is updated twice a year in case market dynamics change. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war are considered at a country-specific level. GCS data is reweighted for representativeness.
